Thomas Guthrie’s arrangement of the “Schöne Müllerin” for small ensemble transports the listener back to a world of sound that Schubert knew from the musical evenings in the homes of his friends – those gatherings where the singing was accompanied by guitars, strings and, if available, a piano. Unlike the lieder recital, where the singer stands at the grand piano in a large hall, in this intimate atmosphere the listener is drawn much more into the drama and emotion of Schubert’s music. The singer Thomas Guthrie is supported by Bjarte Eike and members of his ensemble Barokksolistene.
